Unifying Aspect and Object-Oriented Program Design

Abstract:
Aspect-oriented programming provides new ideas on and mechanisms for 
structuring programs to improve our ability to modularize complex 
software systems effectively. However, aspect-oriented programming 
languages and tools are still in their infancy, and their design and 
application remain relatively unexplored.
I will show that it is possible to bring a new level of conceptual unity 
to the current AO programming model without sacrificing on the 
expressiveness of the most successful aspect-oriented models. This new 
programming model is not only simpler, but it also improves the 
modularization of integration and higher-order concerns, and creates 
valuable new possibilities for structuring systems with aspects.
